In their blood: Anna Paine and Owen Bryson take out Marsden Inch Scholarship for the most promising creative team at MDS Adschool

After a 40 weeks of hard graft producing a portfolio of ‘top of the class’ ideas, Anna Paine and Owen Bryson from the MDS Adschool have won the Marsden Inch Scholarship for the most promising creative team.

“It’s no surprise that Anna and Owen’s book has already landed them a brilliant placement, but we reckon they were always destined for the ad world, as it’s in their blood. Owen’s uncle is John McCabe (former ECD Campaign Palace, and now ECD Einstein’s Hairdresser) and Anna’s brother is Tom Paine (senior writer Y&R )”, says Jeneal Rohrback, Marsden Inch director.

Blood or not, most of the credit for teaching, inspiring and instilling regular reality checks to the pair is down to The Adschool’s creative director Kate Humphries.

The directors of Marsden Inch Recruitment, Cindy Mitchener, Rob Roydhouse and Jeneal Rohrback, based their decision on the superb quality of Owen and Anna’s ideas. The scholarship was awarded at the end of the course. Marsden Inch like to think that this motivated the team to work even harder , but you’ll have to ask Anna and Owen; maybe it’s just in their blood.
